In Walks a WomanKansas Story-Shapers: Clarina Nichols, Annie Diggs, & Mamie Dillard with Dr. Sarah Bell, Kansas Museum of History DirectorIf you’re into Women’s History, you will LOVE this episode. Dr. Sarah Bell, Director of the newly-renovated Kansas Museum of History in Topeka, Kansas, joins IWAW and shares fascinating stories of three Kansas women: Clarina Nichols, Annie Diggs, & Mamie Dillard. In the 19th century, the story of women was supposed to take place–exclusively–in the “home,” and yet, everything outside the home profoundly affected women. The only way forward was to change the narrative. And that’s what these three women did, rewriting women’s story through writing, public speaking, teaching, and mentoring.

Proofread"Pilgrim at Tinker Creek" by Annie Dillard“Pilgrim at Tinker Creek” by Annie Dillard is a work of creative nonfiction about seeing the natural world. Set in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Tinker Creek, Dillard observes muskrats, praying mantises, and shifting seasons with wonder and unease, asking what nature reveals about beauty, cruelty, and the presence of God. Is it transcendent or tedious? Profound or pretentious? Hosts Kacy and Tyler wade into Dillard’s vivid prose and big questions to help you decide if “Pilgrim at Tinker Creek” is a life-changing classic or simply not your stream.

Just as musicians credit their musical influences, writers, too, have literary inspirations who help them discover and shape their unique voice.
At a White House event for poets in 2011, Billy Collins said to students about finding your voice:

Billy himself was influenced by the work of Wallace Stevens—I suppose he would say he was furiously jealous of him.

Things I Said Out LoudPracticing quiet, recognizing beautySo, how do you feel right now?I don’t know about you, but I’m very aware of how much I need to lean into God.That’s partly an acknowledgement of the limitations I feel as I wear multiple hats (work, creativity, parenthood, plain ol’ life). It’s also a recognition that I’m stepping out of a complex and difficult season into new and exciting things.How about you?In this short episode I chat about practicing silence and share from two must-read books, one from Malcolm Muggeridge and the othe...

Ecclesia HoustonYou Might Not NoticeAuthor Annie Dillard asks this question in her book “Pilgrim at Tinker
Creek”: Why is there beauty? Pastor Sean Palmer invites us into the
writings and faith of Annie Dillard to urge us to go outside and become
aware of the beauty around us. The pace of our lives often leaves us with
little time to intentionally slow down and seek beauty.

Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book, or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Somethin...

Barry’s third collection of short stories, That Old Country Music, now out in paperback, is a masterclass in how to write about men undone or remade by love, by turns comic, troubling, and sometimes devastating. “I think every novel I’ve written and every story I’ve written is essentially about people who can’t escape their own past,” he has said. “They can never get...

Reading: Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, Annie Dillard
Why did you want to read this? Pilgrim at Tinker Creek holds reverence for nature, yet is unafraid to describe its cruelty. Annie Dillard wrote this in 1974, when she was about 30 years old, my age. I think of her when I walk in the neighborhood or hike outside the city where I live, and I try to locate beauty in the way she does.

"The line of words fingers your own heart. It invades arteries, and enters the heart on a flood of breath; it presses the moving rims of this valves; it palpates the dark muscle strong as horses, feeling for something, it knows not what. A queer picture beds in the muscle like a worm encysted--some film of feeling, some song forgotten, a scene in a dark bedroom, a...

Annie Dillard’s books came to me in one of those writerly seasons of transition. I could dip into any of her first volumes and get lost. It’s the way she conflates what some people call “nature writing” with philosophical depths at play, with sudden bursts of homespun vernacular and finally what can only be a kind of theological verve. She is one of the masters who pushes me into a new way of seeing.

In that chapter—and in this episode—Esther shows us that if we are to truly know someone or something, then we need to pledge ourselves to that which is yet-to-be-known. We need to pledge ourselves to the “knowing venture” and we need to pledge to be open to—to consent to—the reality of that which we are coming to know.THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Esther Lightcap Meek is...

And they've been replaced with online communities. Work meetings have moved from boardrooms to zoom rooms. In many ways, as an online entrepreneur, things are largely the same.

And Sons110 | How Writers Make WritingIt's said painters like painting, and writers like having written. That tends to be true. From Zadie Smith to Flannery O'Connor, Steven Pressfield to John Gardner, Annie Dillard et alia, writers know the writing life is difficult.
And, it can be broken down into actionable steps. Steps writers have used for centuries to get work done. In this episode we talk those steps: being a student of language, loving your medium, overcoming distraction, subduing your own fractious mind, building a process, surrendering the outcome.

Books on writing typically fall into two camps: some are more centered on writing as philosophy, a way of life.
